Ecclesiastes 8:2-5

²Keep the king’s command, I say, because of your oath before God.

³Do not hasten to leave his presence, and do not persist in a bad cause, for he will do whatever he pleases.

⁴For the king’s word is supreme, and who can say to him, “What are you doing?”

⁵Whoever keeps his command will come to no harm, and a wise heart knows the right time and procedure.
